2019 Can-Am® Commander™ DPS™ 1000RFOR YOUR EVERY MOVE

Put yourself behind the wheel of Can-Ams versatile side-by-side equipped with Tri-Mode Dynamic Power Steering (DPS) for control when tackling off-road routes everywhere.

Features may include:

Rotax V-Twin engine

PERFORMANCE DEFINED

Tri-mode Dynamic Power Steering (DPS)

HANDLING WITH PRECISION

Three (3) levels of rider-adjustable steering assistance give DPS models the ability to adapt steering feel to match the terrain while also reducing kickback. The amount of assistance varies with speed, adjusting input naturally and only as much as needed.

Intelligent Throttle Control (ITC)

READY TO DANCE

The Can-Am Intelligent Throttle Control (ITC) throttle-by-wire system ensures smooth power delivery via precise control of its 54 mm Bosch throttle body—even if the drivers foot is bouncing due to rough terrain. ITC detects unwanted bounces and filters the input, with selectable progressive and Sport modes.

Torsional Trailing arm Independent (TTI) rear suspension

STAY IN CONTACT

Youre looking at the only independent rear suspension that eliminates scrub and camber changes, meaning the wheels pivot up and down rather than in a butterfly motion. This ensures the vehicle moves only in the direction you point it. Reconfigured for improved traction and optimal transfer of power to the ground.

Double A-arm front suspension with sway bar

TRUE FEELINGS

The Can-Am Commanders Double A-arm front suspension is designed with dive-control geometry that works to eliminate diving under heavy braking and rough terrain. The front end features 10 in. (25.4 cm) of travel and five-way preload-adjustable motion-control shocks.
